Had a great time at Mekong at Anantara. Lovely atmosphere and a really enjoyable dinner. Special thanks to Mr.Nandan for taking such good care of us throughout the evening. He was very welcoming and made sure we had a great experience. Really appreciated his hospitality. Will definitely visit again.

After we were so thrilled with our stay at the Anantara Jebel Akhdar last year, the choice of our next destination was made in favor of an Anantara property. First of all - the decision was absolutely right. From our late-night arrival to our departure, we really enjoyed the 12 days. Only when choosing a room should one note that the rooms with a lagoon view are indeed facing the water, but there are still quite low buildings in the first row behind it, and large buildings are being constructed behind those. Upon our arrival at night, we could not see this, and we then moved to a room with a view of the resort's garden in the morning (we were able to choose between several rooms). Actually, we do not like staying on the ground floor, but here, in our opinion, it is much more pleasant with the terraces than a balcony on the 1st FLOOR. We had therefore booked a room with a terrace. A large part of the rooms are located "in the main building," which proves to be an advantage in the quite high temperatures (since the path is air-conditioned). The villas with the deluxe rooms are located in individual villas, and you can use the shuttle service to get to the Sea Breeze or to all other parts of the resort. The water villas are beautiful and impressive and fit well into the architectural concept of the resort. There are 2 or 3 pools (incl. children's pool), with the pool bar also located at the family pool. The beach is divided into 2 sections, the family area and the rear area with the adults-only pool. The service is great everywhere and so hospitable that from this perspective it does not matter where you spend your day. We were in the family area once and after that always in the adults-only part, which is equipped with cabanas as well as loungers + umbrellas. The cabanas are of course wonderful for people who prefer to stay in the shade. Water is distributed to guests at the pool/beach everywhere and is also "replenished" if there is a need. A small bar at the adult pool is of course also available. Since we really like being in the warmth but tend to avoid direct sun, the nice guys at the pool always prepared one of the large cabanas for us, which are primarily available to guests of the water villas or must be paid for. We really enjoyed our time there and had nice conversations with Ganesh and his colleague from Nepal. It is great that the staff can also take the time for that. Regarding the Premium Terrace Room, I would like to share our impressions; these are really very spacious and super equipped. The bed is very large, super comfortable and provided us with a very restful sleep; the sofa offers a pleasant place for reading but of course also just for relaxing. The size of the closets was perfect and the additionally needed hangers were brought immediately. The minibar is very well equipped if you have a need for snacks, sweets, or drinks. The coffee machine including dishes and tea maker was good for an espresso or tea in the late afternoon. Small snacks from the kitchen were also in the room from time to time and delighted us. The curtains as well as the lighting etc. are controlled via a display. We really liked the spacious bathroom with a nice tub (which we did not use), separate shower and separate toilet as well as a double vanity and the complete set of amenities, because they really thought of EVERYTHING here! What surprised us was the replacement of the "slippers" during our stay; we have not experienced that before. The terrace is quite large and equipped with a table as well as 2 comfortable chairs and a "sofa". Water as well as coffee capsules / tea are replenished daily, gladly even several times, since housekeeping also stops by in the evening and asks what is "needed". The work of the housekeeping team was very good. The Anantara Spa is an absolute recommendation and, in our opinion, the prices are also reasonable. We really enjoyed our treatments and they contributed greatly to our well-being. Since we had half board, we visited all 3 restaurants, with the Sea Breeze being our favorite, as the team there is so attentive and warm. Of course, the food was also very good. We will therefore also evaluate the Sea Breeze separately. We only visited the Mekong restaurant once, as it was booked out more often. This restaurant itself, the concept behind it, the food, as well as the staff also convinced us. Our visits to the Beach House were pleasant and the chosen dishes were also great, only here the staff were not as well organized, attentive, and responsive as in the Sea Breeze or Mekong. But "the benchmark" was also very high. What one should consider regarding the location of the resort, a rental car is definitely an advantage if you don't just want to have a beach vacation and want to explore the area yourself. We picked up our car at DXB and returned it there as well. Since there is nothing else in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, it is very practical to take tours with the vehicle, especially since we wanted to see the development of the Emirate of RAK 20 years after our first stay. Unfortunately, it was not possible to visit Jebel Jais, as construction was taking place there. The location of the emirate makes it relatively quick to get to Oman and explore Khasab as well as the fjords of Musandam on a dhow. This excursion is really great and the accessibility from RAK is better than from Oman (mainland) itself. We also traveled on the new Etihad Rail from Fujairah to Dubai and back, a very comfortable and impressive experience when you travel through the desert at 200 km/h and discover completely new perspectives (compared to the car). Thanks to the entire team at the Anantara Mina Ras al Kaimah and especially Zafan, Diani, and Ganesh!!!
